Julianne Quinn, Daniel Lassiter, Mashood Ur Rahman, and Kajol Basnet (pictured left to right at an Ethiopian restaurant) all presented research at AGU in Washington, D.C. the week of Dec 9-13. Daniel gave an oral presentation on the benefits of an ensemble-based approach to flood probability mapping that he developed for urban coastal systems experiencing compound flooding from storm surge and rainfall drivers. Mashood presented a poster on his work assessing the economic and environmental benefits of transitioning energy in Appalachian Virginia to renewable energy from wind in conjunction with pumped storage hydropower. Kajol also presented a poster on her proposed approach to integrating fluvial, pluvial and sediment drivers into flood frequency analysis in Bihar, India, and her progress so far in modeling fluvial influences. Finally, Julie gave an oral presentation on behalf of Samarth Singh, who couldn’t make it, on designing alternative hydropower operations for balancing conflicting energy, economic, and water system objectives in the Columbia River Basin, and how those rules could support decarbonization under climate change.
